MIGUEL COTTO VS. DELVIN RODRIGUEZ SET FOR OCTOBER 5 ON HBO

Sources close to the information have informed us that former three-division world champion Miguel Cotto has agreed in principle to face jr. middleweight contender Delvin Rodriguez. The bout will take place on October 5 and will be televised on HBO. Although a venue has yet to be solidified, it looks like Orlando, Florida will host the event.

The fight will mark Cotto's return to HBO after a one-fight hiatus, having faced Austin Trout in a losing effort on Showtime following a previous loss to Floyd Mayweather. Will Cotto's luck change now that he's back with HBO or will Rodriguez, who ironically is on a two-fight winning streak, give Cotto his third straight loss and possibly send him into retirement?
